Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe framed picture of Jeff Bridges in a uniform is taken from The Last Picture Show (1971).
- GoofsWhen Kim Basinger is looking through her closet for lingerie, she pulls down a large grey box labeled "Scarborough's". This is an '80's-era shipping box for the former high-end department store, not a '50's-era box. (Scarborough's is now closed).
- Quotes
Vernon Hightower: You mind tellin' me what the hell was goin' on back there?
Nadine Hightower: Well, it's sort of like this. One of the girls down at the shop -- and don't ask who it is, 'cause I ain't gonna tell ya -- anyway, this guy Escobar took some, uh, pictures, I mean, some "art studies" of her...
Vernon Hightower: What you MEAN is: this old boy talked her into posin' bare-ass for a bunch of pictures. And I bet that's not all they done.
Nadine Hightower: [miffed] Vernon Hightower, you got a dirty mind! For your information, Mr. Escobar was in the Army with Hugh Hefner of Playboy magazine fame. How about that?
Vernon Hightower: He pulled that one on her? I knew those gals in the shop wasn't the smartest things in the world, but I did give 'em more credit than that. And I'll bet you, that she's got a husband that's even dumber than she is.
Nadine Hightower: [ironically] Hmm.

But it's a delightful little caper movie, driven (as all good movies are) by the performers and a tight script by Robert Benton, not known for his enjoyable caper movies!
Jeff Bridges all but steals the film from a delightful Kim Basinger, and the two of them together set the screen on fire. They are surrounded by some of the best character actors working today, including Rip Torn. As I was watching this I thought how smart Robert Benton is for casting real actors, and having the comedy come out of their behaviour and talent, rather than casting 'wacky comedians' and reducing the story to little bits.
A lot of fun, and worth seeing.
